How can I disable torrents on a network?

[kenafpureblade]

First of all, I'll start with this: my roommate hates me.

So we're sharing a DSL connection between three people (but multiple computers). In my experience, I know that anytime anyone runs a torrent program on any network, it kills the bandwidth of the network to the point where it is barely usable at times.

My roommate however, does use torrents, and won't listen to reason. I am using AT&T DSL, and have a 2wire Wireless Gateway model 2700HG-B. I know I can open up the admin page by visiting gateway.2wire.net in a browser, but I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution to our problem.

What can I do to make the internet work again while he uses torrents, or otherwise how can I disable torrent usage all together? I would just pull the plug on his computer, but he also uses the wireless internet to download torrents.. if I disable that, then my other roommate gets kicked off the net.
